We'll do our best, that's why this list is here. (Well, that and a
whole lotta trading. :o) Please let us know how FASA ruled when you
hear back from them.

The fence and gate don't list themselves as dealing damage first (as
opposed to challenges like Ambush or Security Drone), so I don't
believe that's the case. However, as you pointed out the Attack Value
is listed as zero in the Threat Rating. I've been playing it as if the
damage would be listed in its Attack Value, thus the damage is dealt
as in normal combat. I believe the damage is listed in the description
just because it's specifying the owner of the challenge is specifying
which runner takes it.

Yes, just as a Rigger with Piloting 2 could control two drones during
a run.

Gear with the description of outdoor (as in the Harley Scorpion) may
not be used against a challenge specified as indoor (as in Feeding
Ghouls).

A challenge like Lone Star is not specifically indoor, so the bonuses
for someone using the Harley Scoprion still apply.

Objectives saying you cannot use outdoor challenges just refer to
challenges and do not apply to gear. However, there are some
Objectives like Amazonian Hunt that actually specify vehicles cannot
be used.
